At one time engine check engine light went on, it was the fuel injection, then I had the brake pads replaced, not even two months later I had to get them replaced again, thats including the drums, that was because it would vibrate and when releasing the brake it would make a pop sound. After 8 months of having the vehicle the battery went dead one day I had the car towed to the dealership. The car smells like smoke. I had it check because it shifts hard and it hesitates all the time, they told me it was okay.
